A strong corporate culture that invests in diversity and inclusion is one of the greatest competitive advantages a company can have. The lack of diversity in leadership is a missed opportunity for businesses, to gain benefits from inclusivity, a company’s commitment to diversity must be modeled by its leaders, in the C-suite and at all levels of leadership.
Does your company have diversity in its leadership? If not, you could be missing out on a host of business benefits, like more innovation, higher revenues and stronger talent acquisition opportunities.

The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China and the leaders who share their stories are all proud of contributing to creating more inclusive workplaces.

In 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic, digital disruption, the US-China relationship and climate change are some of the top risks for businesses to watch for. Underpinning these risks, the potential of missing the rebound in a year of multi-speed recovery is a top risk for businesses. Businesses need to learn the lessons and embrace the positives.

What risks should be on the radar of businesses? What is the intensity of the potential disruption that they could cause? These and more questions will be addressed during this session.
